PRAGUE (REUTERS) - Jamie Donaldson secured his place in Europe's team for next month's Ryder Cup at Gleneagles with a fine final round to win the Czech Masters at the Albatross Golf Resort by two shots on Sunday.

Welshman Donaldson needed a top-seven finish to secure his Ryder Cup debut and did so in style, shooting a final round four-under-par 68 to finish at 14-under 274, winning his third European Tour title in the process.

The 38-year-old overcame a two-shot deficit to compatriot Bradley Dredge on the final day, who finished second on 12-under.

South African Merrick Bremner and Denmark's Soren Kjeldsen finished tied for third a shot further back.

Scot Stephen Gallacher, another European Ryder Cup hopeful, finished tied for seventh, seven shots behind Donaldson.

With his short game in particularly fine fettle Donaldson started his final round in inspired form, taking the lead with three birdies from the first three holes.

He bogeyed the fourth to surrender the advantage to Kjeldsen who birdied the fifth hole.

The lead continued to change hands until Donaldson made the most of two Kjeldsen bogeys to open up a two-shot lead with a long birdie at the tenth.

From that position he rarely looked in trouble and could even afford to bogey the 17th hole on his way to victory.
